NCVPS ESPAÑOL 3

WEEK 14, April 30-May 5

Con la Sra. Aguirre

Week 14

I hope everybody is enjoying this beautiful weather. I am very proud of the hard word from students to get their assignments submitted last week.

This week we are finishing Unit 7, lessons 4 & 5, due this Friday, May 4 @ 11:55pm. Please encourage your student to finish U7 ASAP. After this week, we only have a few weeks left!

I am in the process of contacting parents this week about student progress.

Students have 3 opportunities to attend an RLC for Unit 7 this week.

WHEN DOES NCVPS SPANISH 3 HONORS CLASS END?

Several of you have asked when the end of the semester is. The last unit, Unit 8 has a submission date of May 18 (to stay on pace with the class and not have points deducted for late work.) The Final Project (Exam and Project) are due by June 1 when the class will close. Here are the rest of the weekly assignments due (from the Schedule of Assignments). (Click here for the link to the Spanish 3 Schedule of Assignments.)

How are grades averaged?

CULTURE CAFE FOR EXTRA CREDIT!

Students have 1 upcoming Culture Cafe session they can attend for Extra Credit. Students can go to their Home page on Canvas and click on the icon, The Culture Cafe for a detailed lists of future Culture Cafe sessions and how to log into the session. After attending a Culture Cafe session, students will complete a reflection about the class and submit it for extra credit.

Notes/Reminders on Assignments and Grading

Here are some notes about assignments, grading, rubrics & feedback that may answer some of your questions and/or are friendly reminders.

Students should complete the assignments listed on the "Schedule of Assignments". Students should have printed it off at the beginning of the semester, but if not, they should do so asap to use as their agenda/check-off list.

Students need to complete *all* assignments, in order, and on time (according to the schedule of assignments). There is *no* reason not to complete an assignment. If they are having issues completing/submitting an assignment, let me know ASAP, so I can help identify/fix the issue and/or provide an alternative.

Assignments are to be completed in their individual assignment pages, not through messages or email.

They should read the directions for each assignment carefully. For some, you have multiple attempts; others just one. For some, they have to earn a certain score before they'll be able to move forward.

Assignments are due weekly on Friday by 11:59 pm.

All assignments are graded according to proficiency using the grading rubrics in the "Course Documents" folder on your main module page. Students should have already familiarized themselves with these and feel free to refer back to them when/as needed. Knowing how they are graded should help them get the best grade (and the highest proficiency level) possible. Let me know if you have any questions on this.

I always provide feedback detailing what they did incorrectly and/or their demonstrated proficiency level on an assignment. If you ever have questions on the feedback that I provide and/or need additional information/help, please let me know!

They should get into the habit of checking their grades and feedback daily! To do this, click on "Grades" in the left-hand sidebar. You are encouraged to do this too!

Different assignments are worth different weights. Participation is 10%, Reading and Writing is 15%, Speaking and Listening is 15%, Cultural Activities are 10%, Quizzes are 15%, Final Projects are 15% and Final Exam & Project are 20%.

If you have questions on any of this or anything related to assignments, grades, feedback, rubrics, etc., please don't hesitate to let me know!
